$400.0Elisabeth Lohninger and Band
Live 2023
Label/AN:
Lehmann Audio, LA004
Format:
LP 180gThe story of this album is “a little longer”. They do exist, those happy cases where the whole is more than the sum of its parts, even in music. Elisabeth Lohninger was supposed to give a concert at the Analogtage in 2022, accompanied by Axel Fischbacher and his trio. The big C put a spanner in the works for the 2022 project. But Norbert Lehmann didn't want to miss the chance to experience Elisabeth live and on record.
So he contacted her again for the Analog Days 2023 and luckily Elisabeth Lohninger had time. She also had ideas for the members of the band and the line-up was soon finalised: Christine Corvisier, a French tenor saxophonist who lives in Cologne and has been touring successfully with her own group for some time. She has a wide stylistic range and plays with breathtaking energy. Jean Yves Jung, a keyboard wizard from France on piano. Cliff Schmitt, an experienced double bass player who has accompanied the likes of Norah Jones, Art Garfunkel, Till Brönner and Curtis Stigers in thousands of concerts. Alex Bernath, groove drummer par excellence, has played with Elisabeth Lohninger several times and is also the backbone of Ray Greene, lead singer of Santana. He has just been asked by Tower of Power.
The only word to describe what the five of them conjured up that evening in October 2023 at Bauer Studios is “magical”.

$400.0JENS FILSER ORGANIC BLUES PROJECT FEAT. BRENDA BOYKIN
180g Vinyl, LPThe current LP of the concert recording of the Analog Days 2021 with the Jens Filser Organic Blues Project feat. Brenda Boykin was recorded live in the nerve-wracking Direct-to-2-Track process for the musicians in the legendary Bauer Studios in Ludwigsburg. This is nerve-wracking because the music is mixed completely live and ends up on the analog stereo tape with all details and facets as it is played – without any possibility for subsequent editing. This is a challenge for musicians and the recording team alike.
The Bauer Studios are the oldest private studio in Germany. Stereo recordings have been made there since 1949, at a time when the entire broadcasting landscape in Germany was still broadcasting in mono. Over the past seven decades, a myriad of world stars have practically turned up at the studio in Ludwigsburg. The place has an almost magical effect on musicians.
The American singer Brenda Boykin, who lives in Germany, sparkles with energy and joie de vivre. Even though she has to do live performances sitting down due to physical impairments, she has her companions under control with small gestures, looks and hand movements, practically always a smile on her lips and a disarming, winning humor that shines through in her announcements. The band plays tight, groovy, driving, soaring – whatever the particular track and singer dictate. Boykin sometimes improvises in duets with virtuoso guitarist Jens Filser or with organist Dirk Schaadt, who always keeps an overview despite all the complexity and passion. For this concert in particular, Schaadt was pleased that the band was expanded to include double bassist Till Brandt. This gave Schaadt much more freedom to make his original Hammond organ and the rotating Leslie speaker jubilate, sob and whisper with both hands and all his passion. Normally, in the organist's trio, the left hand is absorbed, virtually tied up, by the accompanying bass. Completely unleashed, but always keeping the song structures and Brenda Boykin's conducting in mind, was Schaadt that evening at Bauer Studios.
Drummer Micky Neher and bassist Till Brandt were the backbone and musical drivers in personal union at this concert. The concert as an overall experience electrified and thrilled all spectators in equal measure.
This experience is now finally repeatable through this LP with 33 rpm!

$400.0AXEL FISCHBACHER TRIO FEAT. SOPHIA OSTER
180g Vinyl, LP – LA003It's 2022, it's Analogtage – and once again, the music is made in front of the microphones, by musicians who – as in the case of this live recording – not only face the audience, but also dispense with nets and false floors for the recording; authenticity takes precedence over perfection. The concept of Analogtage does not allow for any subsequent manipulation of the recording, which is made directly on stereo tape. This concert shows what a musical stroke of luck this can be.
Axel Fischbacher about his trio: “You start counting, it just sounds good and it works. What more do you want? The way we completely dissolve the strict form of trio, soloist and accompanist and then use it again, the way we improvise between “abstract/free” and “strict/stylistic” and generally play with the elements of the compositions, was just there. We didn't discuss it. We didn't have to. And that's a good thing. Nico Brandenburg on double bass and Tim Dudek on drums are congenial, equal partners. Sophia Oster – who stepped in as a substitute two days before the recording – brings her sensitive singing and her extremely subtle and virtuoso piano playing to this concert. Everything fits. We are witnessing a rising star of jazz!
